ACT 312 & OIL FIELD LEGACY SITES
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007Act 312 is recently enacted legislation that was developed as a result of the increased occurrence of litigation resulting from landowner allegations of environmental damages due to former oil field exploration and production operations. In the wake of Act 312, the emphasis on good consulting has become paramount. Establishing the presence or absence of actual risks to human health and/or the environment is paramount to successfully addressing allegations of environmental impacts at such properties. Today’s legal and regulatory environments dictate that a risk-based approach be utilized when evaluating potential environmental liabilities at former oil field exploration and production properties. TEA is uniquely poised to provide such consulting services. Our environmental professionals can provide the technical expertise needed to successfully evaluate and address environmental concerns associated with former oil field exploration and production properties.
TEA personnel have “hands on” knowledge of upstream oil field practices and operations. This knowledge, combined with the knowledge of how to interpret and apply state and federal regulations, allows TEA to quickly identify and assess any real environmental liabilities associated with such operations. We can effectively eliminate perceived environmental concerns and focus on any real, risk-based, environmental concerns that may be identified at former exploration and production properties.
